Second release candidate of PowerDNS DNSdist 2.0.0

Today we published the second release candidate of what will become PowerDNS DNSdist 2.0.0.

This release fixes several issues found in the first release candidate:

• the webserver could no longer listen on more than one address or port
• it was not possible to register netmask groups from the YAML configuration
• rcodes could not be specified by their mnemonics in the YAML configuration
• the source interface or address of backends was not used when using the YAML configuration
• building on 32-bit targets was broken
• building on some systems requiring explicit linking against libdl was broken

As this release introduces major changes compared to the 1.9 versions, we invite everyone to test it as soon as possible to make sure that all existing use cases are still working properly, and that there is no performance degradation. Incompatible changes are listed in the upgrade guide.

Please see the DNSdist website for the changelog and the current documentation.

Please send us all feedback and issues you might have via the mailing list, or in case of a bug, via GitHub.

The release tarball and its signature are available on the downloads website, and packages for several distributions are available from our repository.
